You Have 0 Friends (Season 14, Episode 4)

When Stan attempts to delete his Facebook account, the computer informs him that it can't let him do that and that Stan will be put on the Game Grid. Stan is digitized and sent into the computer in a scene that is a direct tribute to the scene in TRON where Flynn is digitized. Most of the remainder of the episode is spent inside the TRON-styled Facebook server, with people's "profiles" taking the place of programs and appearing in a variety of colors and some radically varied styles, similar to Data Pushers. Stan is forced to play Yahtzee with someone's profile in a parody of the jai alai game (Stan asks why they aren't doing battle on glowing bikes instead). Stan's profile has taken on a gigantic form similar to appearance to Sark's giant form & the MCP. Stan and his profile do combat, once again, by playing Yahtzee. Stan wins and is freed from the computer.
